As I said in another thread last week I have a gut feeling Ferrari will finally do very well in Austria. It was on the cards last year and only the impossible task of passing a similar strong car gave Bottas the win last year. Exactly the same thing happened in Bahrain this year where Seb won because Bottas couldn't pass on fresher tyres. If you look at the circuit layout it's very similar to Bahrain. It's stop-and-go with a few corners midway through the lap. But what sets both circuits apart is obviously the altitude. Ferrari's engine/PU seems to be less thirsty than the Merc and that will give Ferrari the chance to run a richer fuelmix in Austria. For qualifying that should be a big advantage. Original soft, supersoft and ultrasoft tyres will be used. That's better than Bahrain and the same as Baku. Ferrari sure could use a 1-2 finish here.

Seb needs the win in Austria because Lewis will win in GB and I predict a Merc 1-2 there.

I suppose the chances are high of a HAM win at Silverstone, but it's not a certainty and what satisfaction it would give us to see a Ferrari win! Likewise we need to win in Austria. The weather in UK has been very hot recently but you can guarantee that by the time Silverstone comes round, it will change and the odds will be against us. But we'll try!

OMG A Ferrari win at Silverstone especially if we could spring a 1, 2 out of the bag. A lot of people would find that a hard one to take.
We keep our hopes high for Sunday and pray for a fair wind on Seb & Kimi's backs.
I see Seb has been slated by the Italian press but he's old enough to handle all of that but I would hate young Charles to have to deal with similar at the tender age of 20. It could ruin him. It really is the lion's den when things go wrong.

I would poop twice and die if Seb wins in Silverstone, but I don't see it happening. This is why a win in Austria with Ham finishing down the order is important.

Both ferraris needs to lock out front row. That’s imp, kimi needs to lift up his q3 performances.
Vettel needs to avoid silly mistakes...!!! Already this year there are two, zero from ham. I think these mistakes might decide the championship.

Will see this track should suit us much more as France. Yes Hamilton didnt make many mistakes but he was dog slow in Montreal, Baku, China. Seb was never lacking pace this year, Hamilton did, end of the story. I hope we will strike back in Austria.
